About Swan River Airport
Swan River Airport is a small public airport serving Swan River and the wider Swan Valley region of west-central Manitoba. It is operated as a municipal aviation facility, with administration and maintenance contracted to the Town of Swan River, and it supports charter, medical and general aviation activity rather than regular scheduled airline service.
Located immediately west of Swan River, roughly 2 km from the town centre, the airport sits at an elevation of about 335 m and has two runways. The primary asphalt runway, 02/20, is about 1,199 m long, while the shorter 08/26 crosswind strip has a turf and asphalt surface.
The airport was once connected to Winnipeg by scheduled flights operated by Keystone Air Service, a service that ended between 2004 and 2005. Today it mainly handles private charters, medical evacuation flights, corporate and government aircraft, and seasonal support operations for the surrounding agricultural region.
Ground access is simple: the town is a short drive away and taxis or private vehicles provide the main connection between the airport and Swan River. Because commercial service is limited, many travellers in the region combine the airport with road travel to larger centres such as Winnipeg for scheduled connections.
